Off-grid cottage in the Swedish woods

Late summer at my cottage
It is now over a year since I left Stockholm for the countryside and finally I found myself a  nice little cottage that I can improve with solar cells and a proper garden. I have a well nearby but no electricity and only a composting toilet. At the moment I will mainly use it as a summer home since the Swedish winter will make the road mostly inaccessible and the cottage doesn't have any proper isolation. Propane stove and fireplace as well as free fire wood is a big plus =) But it has been empty for 2 years so there's plenty to fix. 

Lake nearby

The surrounding area is really beautiful summertime, with lots of old oaks, meadows and a not to small lake with plenty of fish.

My puppy love, Taiga, a Scandinavian Hound
And it's the perfect place to let a puppy roam around. I named him after the great boreal forest of the north, the Taiga, mighty and wild. He is already a really fast runner, no wonder, the husky part in him (mix between vorsteh/alaskan husky). A working dog used for pulling things, but it's too early for that yet.
